Chickens:
1. I got two words for you. Global Warming. It's no joke. If you haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth yet, please do. My sister in law said that she could have done without Al Gores little nostalgic snippets - and I kind of agree...but the message is super important. I can tell you this. I am very concerned after what I learned in Antarctica. To listen to these guys, these scientists who have spent their entire lives studying and analyzing the environmental changes that have been occurring in places like Antarctica due to global warming - to hear them say how worried they are, is not good. It's so freaky infact, that for three days on our return back to South America I sat in our little cabin drafting plans for the bomb shelter and emergency supplies we'll have one day on our farm in the middle of BFE. The place we will be where the shit won't hit our proverbial fan when (not if) the bottom falls out in all the big cities when people can no longer afford to fill their gas tanks up and the domino effect that is sure to ensue begins and people become paralyzed because they are dependent on a society that provides everything for them. We'll be the freaky ones...but that's okay. Because we'll have water and cows. And pigs. And stuff. Which leads me to the second chicken.
2. The Omnivore's Dilemma. When we were on our first cruise (the one with all the old people and the bingo...which I actually played and won a electro detox shock therapy session where mud was applied to my upper arms and my muffin top and my stomach...and then they put electroids (is that a word?) on the mud on my body and cranked those puppies up for 30 mins causing my muscles to spaz out and release all the McDonald's and Taco Bell toxins from me wobbly bits)... I picked up this book out of the library and made Zack read it because it sounded like something that would interest him...which it did. And now he is obsessed with the knowledge he has thanks to this book, that practically EVERYTHING processed we eat is made up of corn, and how the government subsidizes corn...and blah blah blah. And most disturbing of all, claims my little Einstein, for the love of all thats holy, COWS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT CORN...but they do. And then we eat the cows. The corn fed, sick, cows. And just in case this message wasn't clear to me before, now Vern is reading the book and can't let a commercial run by without pointing out wildly that ITS ALL CORN! Basically the word on the street is that corn might be the Antichrist.
3. I learned too much about body toxins on that cruise, and Zack and I have decided to do the ol' cleansing. I totally nudged Jayne and Melissa to do this as my guinea pigs...and now it's my turn. It's time to purge the 50 some odd McDonald's double cheeseburger remnants that I ate in 1999 that I have been told are shellacked to my colon and intestines 7 years later. You should do it to!
4. We are trying to find a house. I want a home so bad. We are so ready for a place of our own. It has been since APRIL now since we have had our own place...ack. The home buying process is tiresome...and of course we can't seem to find something we both agree 100% on.
5. My brother is getting tested for epilepsy. His scare last week was his third episode in the last 10 years or so. If you are a prayer (hal-ay-yul-ya!), you can pray for his good health. That would be swell. He's a good guy and really cool dad, and we are really anxious to get some more definite information about why this keeps happening to him.
6. Me and my little love penguin.
